The International Technical Symposium on Navigation and Timing, also known as the ITSNT, is an annual event organized by Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (ENAC) for professionals and researchers working with or interested in navigation and timing technologies and their use.

The 2018 edition of the ITSNT will take place Nov. 13-16 in Toulouse, France, on the campus of ENAC.

This event is composed of two types of sessions:

  • Invited Guest sessions: special guests are invited by the scientific committee to give a presentation related to the generic topic of the session. Typically, there are four guest speakers per session, and the session ends with a round table. The programme of the “invited guest” sessions is available on the website.
  • Peer-Reviewed Paper sessions: the presenters of these sessions are selected by the scientific committee based on a call for abstract. The deadline for the call for abstracts is May 25. The final programme of these sessions will be available in October.

The ITSNT also provides a great environment for networking and visiting sponsors’ exhibition stands.

The symposium includes tutorials given by some of the invited guest speakers on their topic of excellence.
